Transparency: can Quinn walk the talk?
A blog post on some of President Obama’s recent policies reminds us of how politicians can say one thing and practice another when it comes to transparency. At the end of the day, transparency is easy to talk about, but much harder to observe.
That’s why we’re all eagerly awaiting governor Quinn to sign HB 35, a bill unanimously approved by both houses over a month ago. If Quinn really is the proponent of transparency he claims he is, he should take a break from this budget mess, refill his ink pen, and sign HB 35. Instead of passively letting it become law in 26 days, why doesn’t the executive office take this opportunity to make a proactive declaration that transparency remains a priority for the state?
